You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Volume of Pyramid is given by:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"V=%281%2F3%29Bh\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Where B = Base Area, and h = height
\n" ); document.write( "You are given V already, and you can figure out B, since the problem gives you the sides of the square base. The area of a square = s^2, which is 16cm^2 in this case. Substituting these values into the above equation gives you:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"80=%2816%2F3%29h\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"h=%2880%2A3%29%2F16\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28h=15%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
